Decentralised applications from health care to supply chains
Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany, European Union
Thursday, March 30, 2023 (noon) — Friday, March 31, 2023 (evening)
Update March 21, 2023: the registration is open. Thank you for your patience and see you in Nuremberg!
The goal of the symposium is to provide a forum for early adopters from companies and public administration, researchers and the community at large to discuss the current state of the art around Solid (Social Linked Data), learn about best practices in enterprise applications and exchange ideas for further developments.
Solid provides an infrastructure for data portability and data sovereignty, which are important for Europe's strategic autonomy in the digital field.
The Solid Symposium will take place in the heart of the city of Nuremberg close to the Hauptmarkt, the main market square.
The meeting location is the JOSEPHS at the Augustinerhof Nuremberg, Augustinerstraße 19.
Please be advised that there is a large trade fair until Thursday and thus hotel capacity in Nuremberg is limited. Ideally you arrive on Thursday morning. If you absolutely need to book a stay from Wednesday to Thursday, try to reserve a hotel room well in advance. You might need to look for hotels in the nearby towns of Fürth and Erlangen.

More on the Solid Community Code of Conduct.
The motto of the Solid project is: "Your data, your choice. Advancing Web standards to empower people". The Solid specifications are based on (semantic) web technologies and follow a decentralised architecture.
The Solid architecture separates data, identity and applications. With Solid, users can store their data securely in Pods (Personal Online Data Stores). Everyone can set up a Pod. Different Pod implementations are available, and several providers offer to host Pods. Pod owners control access to their data via identities managed by different identity providers. Applications access and manipulate the data stored in Pods.
Such a decentralised architecture, where data, identity and applications can be managed by different organisations, works without any centralised component or platform. Thus, Solid provides the infrastructure for personal data portability and personal data sovereignty. Although Solid initially targets personal use, the specifications are quite generally applicable and, in our view, also very well suited for use in an enterprise setting.
